About Priyanka

I graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a focus in Early Childhood Development. I was a teacher at the NAEYC certified Child and Family Laboratory School at UT, in the 4-5-year-old class. I have a lot of experience with child care, even teaching Taekwondo to all ages for 6 years at the Cypress Creek YMCA. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer, serving my 27 months in Lesotho, landlocked inside South Africa. My Health and Youth/Community Development project focused on HIV prevention, education, treatment and Life Skills in the country with the 2nd highest HIV rate in the world. I am very happy with my new found perspective that I have gained from living there. I have a second Bachelors degree & am Board Certified in Cytogenetics, I brought 3 dogs from Africa! 1 just passed but the other 2 are 10 years old. I worked at the clinical cytogenetics lab at MD Anderson for 5. 5 years. Now at Brigham & Women's! TYSM
